When I’m asked this question, I immediately ask the person if they have a sales process in place now. Typical answer is yes, but then when I challenge them on what the process is, the excuses begin to flow.

PARTNERS IN EXCELLENCE | THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2012 Pattern Recognition And The Sales Process
This capability is often called “muscle memory” or “instinct,” but is really the result of the brain’s tremendous pattern recognition, pattern processing capabilities.

When you speak to top sales performers about this, they can precisely describe what they look for (the patterns) and how those patterns influence their activities. MORE >> -
INCREASE SALES | THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 2013  How Social Selling Skips The Sales Process
The last few days I have been engaged in several conversations about social selling and the overall sales process.

Each time in talking with the other person, they shared with me how they had not been using the sales process very long.
